Hey PDXk5, I should have come back and cleared things up shouldn't I! I had my hood up at my friends panel shop and they weren't very happy with it, to say the least! Anyway, there is only one other truck of this era in the valley here, so I rang the owner up and he graciously drove it straight around.
His hood was identical to mine. Very thin to the touch etc. So mine suddenly became ok! The biggest issue is going to be that mine has alot of heavy pitting and the panel boys are concerned about what the bog will do when they apply it. Should find out in a few weeks when we do it... I'll try and come back and tell you how it went. Oh, and we've got a tube of 'anti flutter foam' to try instead of the foam strips.
